What You'll Need

2 1/2
cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon granulated sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes

1/2
cup ice water

FILLING

3/4
cup packed brown sugar

6 tablespoons butter, melted

2 eggs

3/4
cup corn syrup

2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8
teaspoon salt

1 cup raisins (see Note)

What to Do

In a large bowl, combine flour, granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt; mix well. Add cold, unsalted butter, using pastry cutter or your hands, mix until crumbly. Gradually add ice water and mix with a fork until dough holds together. Divide dough in half, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.

On a lightly floured work surface, roll out 1 ball of dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out 12 (3-1/2-inch) circles using a cookie cutter or glass, re-rolling scraps as necessary. Press each circle into a muffin tin. (Dough will come up only 3/4 way up sides.) Repeat with remaining dough.
